Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Sound, Light and HeatThe experiments demand no expensive apparatus; the aim has been to avoid elaborate instruments; descriptions of the apparatus used, appear in the book or in the Appendix. Many of the engravings are copied from pieces of apparatus in use.The results obtained from the experiments make no claim to great accuracy. The student should avoid attaching to his calculations greater value than they deserve; he should consider the apparatus with which he works; it is a strong temptation to calculate to five or six places of decimals when probably not more than the first place can be relied upon.While attempts have been made to prevent the student forming notions at variance with modern theories, little Space has been given to such theories. A beginner's time is best spent in examining the facts of science.Numerous examples are given frequently throughout the work; Science has been slow in copying from Arithmetic in this matter. A large number of the examples are selected from Examination papers they include the whole of the ques tions in the elementary papers of the Science and Art Depart ment during the last nine years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 Excerpt: ... v Jj v-00005 x IOO = 1424 metres per second. The actual measurements on Lake Geneva gave 1435 metres per second. Examples. IV. 1. Explain how to determine the velocity of sound in a solid, and state clearly on what properties the velocity depends. 2. Sound is said to travel four times as fast in water as in air. How has this been proved? State your reasons for thinking whether sound travels faster or slower in oil than in water. 3. Explain why the rise of temperature, due to compression, and the fall of temperature, due to rarefaction in a sound wave, both tend to in crease the velocity of propagation of the wave. 4. A tube, 1000 feet long, is filled with oxygen gas. Find how quickly the sound of a pistol-shot will travel from one end of the tube to the other, it being given, that the density of the oxygen is 16 times as great as that of hydrogen, and that the velocity of sound in hydrogen is 4200 feet per second. 5. Give Newton's formula for determining the speed of sound in a gas. How did Laplace correct this formula? 6. The velocity of sound in a liquid is said to depend on the ratio of its elasticity to its density. State clearly what you mean by the elasticity of a liquid. Does sound travel in water quicker than in quicksilver? Give reasons for your answer. 7. What is meant by elasticity in a solid? The modulus of elasticity of copper is 1,250,000 kilog. persq. cm. One cubic cm. of copper weighs 8-9 grams. Find the speed of sound in copper. CHAPTER IV. INTENSITY, REFLECTION, AND REFRACTION OF SOUND. 15. Intensity Of Sound. The farther the ear is from a sonorous body the feebler is the effect as regards sound upon the ear. Suppose a skylark high above the earth gives one sharp chirp. As the sound wave travels, it will pass over surface after surface of...

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
